[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think he is an alcoholic, I suggest trying Al-Anon. [/quote]

Thanks.  I probably should.  The signs are there.  It may be the worst thing I could ever have envisioned for my life.  My dad was an alcoholic and I swore I'd never marry an addict or have a child with one.  I don't know how I could have let this happen.  I can't retreat into depression and despair since I need to be present for my baby, but boy is it tempting.  I spent a lot of time in ACA dealing with my childhood.  The idea of ending up in AL Anon may be the biggest failure of my life.  My poor baby.

(I need to step away from here now.  It's all too depressing.  I've got my baby in my arms and I'm gonna try to just smell baby smell, feel baby skin, and treasure this moment rather than gazing on the wreckage of my relationship.)[/quote]OP, please don't be so hard on yourself. You have a lovely baby and you sound like a great mom. Since you were in ACA, you know that alcoholism's grip on families is, as they say, baffling, powerful, and cunning and you wouldn't be the first person to repeat what, as the pp said, feels familiar to you. *If* that's the problem you're facing here (and I don't know you so only you can say), things can still get better and you're fortunate in that you have some tools to help you already. Please get help for yourself and your family. We are rooting for you![/quote]
